At least HP omen 15 is a laptop for those people. Which is neither thin or silent.but has better battery than P955 despite having no optimus.

It makes me puke blood to even praise HP.

They at least give enough craps to release a BIOS update to attempt and fix their mess, while we rely on 3rd party to fix clevos garbage and since 7 years still waiting for a control center that isn't absolute garbage

I don't think that the EC code is specifically designed to impose the 35w limit based only on the power of the adapter.

My guess is that, the 35w power limit is more related to the thermal headroom for the CPU when the load is combined (CPU + GPU load), so if I'm right, the limit is just there to further manage thermals under combined loads (since most of the heatsink designs are unified, the heat from the GPU is shared with the one on the CPU, meaning less thermal headroom for the CPU).

From what I've gathered so far, most of the thin and light notebooks have the 35w limit under combined loads, but there is one notebook (the 2018 razer blade) that has a 35w limit even when the GPU is not used:

The third one dictates if the GPU is getting 80W, the CPU can only get ~35W of power. Raise your brightness and you can choke the CPU even harder.

Razer doesn't have a 35W limit. The CPU locking to 35W is a bug/safety feature as not everyone is getting it. Razer has set the CPU TDP to 60W from 45W.

Assuming streaming + gaming load :

The gigabyte can hold 3.7ghz.The GS65 can do 3.7ghz if it wasn't for MSI retarded overvolting. Holds 3.4ghz
The razer can do 3.9ghz due to the raised TDP.
The clevo is a rollercoaster between 2.2ghz and 3.9ghz, murdering any chance of a streaming + gaming

Don't **** on all thin and light laptop because of clevo. Let's not forget that these are XPS 15 sized laptops(not the clevo as the P955 is larger) that pack one hell of a punch.

I think you don't mean XPS, I think you mean the G series. They are indeed not to shabby, especially considering the price. Also HP Omen seems to be a valid option as well.
